Seeing value

I've been talking a lot about Windows mobile and windows phone and phone. Smartphone has been the talk of this blog most of the time. Anyway I am going to write something else for a change.
I am writing this out of the excitement of seeing such offer given by an optical company. For years I've been disgusted by promotion banners and posters regarding optic products as eventually the price would be much more expensive the one offered.

With our constant engagement in the world of technology, our eyes are forced to look at the computer screen, smartphone screen and basically, our eyes are tired from all these strain. This is why optic products are of such importance even at this time.

One of the best and genuine offer that I found regarding optical products are the ones offered by Zenni Optical. The article "Cheap eyeglasses are a reality. Check out Eric's review of Zenni Optical" may sounds too good to be true but after having friends and family who go for the packages, the cool design eye glasses has helped them to save up to about 80%. The eyeglasses are also of good quality and high durability level.

In order to know why is it that the company could come out with such discounted price and yet maintain the standard and quality of their products, I google and read through Eric's reviews.
It was then that I realized that Zenni Optical uses the latest modern materials, manufacturing as well as marketing systems in order to deliver the product directly from factories to customers and. This enables the company to sells their own brand without the need to look for the services of middleman and retail overhead. The company also manage to further reduce their cost as they invest on a different advertisement strategy. Instead of paying big amount of money for advertisement company, they depend on the satisfacction of their customers and their good reviews as well as testimonials on the products.

I probably will go and get one myself soon since there's still a long wait for the Windows Phone 7 to be released. Apparently, it would be out somewhere October 2010....I might spend a bit on a new pair of eyeglasses and then start budgeting so that I could get a hand on the new phone as well. ;-)

I guess that's all for now...

The phone is not a PC


The phone is not a PC. That's official now that Microsoft has unveiled their next mobile phone platform, Windows Phone 7.
And using "the phone is not a PC" as the mantra, Microsoft seems to be sure that Windows Phone 7 would be a hit.
Apparently, the company is also certain that the "web browser" on the phone would be much more advance although no statement has been made regarding the version of desktop Internet Explorer it borrows the core components.
With Windows Mobile 7, you are seeing a totally different Windows mobile. No longer do we have the old and boring UI. But if you think it's just another make up for Microsoft, then you are wrong. With strong integration with Xbox live, Zune and social network as well, we are probably looking at the next mobile platform that will stand out. And if you are thinking that Microsoft is trying to create a competitor for Iphone, then you might only guess half of it. Microsoft is playing to win with Seven.

In the congress, this is how Windows Phone 7 series were introduced: "Phones kind of look like PC...and the phone is not a PC."

And Windows Phone 7 series is giving Apple and Google everything to be afraid of. From the beginning of the introduction of Windows 7, it has only been giving the "WOW" factor.

More updates on Windows Phone 7 series will be released here.
